The Many Faces of Smoking

Just ran across this.  It's an in-depth video lecture  by Professor Marina Picciotto on the affects of nicotine and the bain and behavior.  Some of it way over my head - she earned her  Ph.D. in Molecular Neurobiology at The Rockefeller University in New York City.  But some of what she says is oh so easy to grasp.  I've only watched the first half hour so far, but at the 15 minute mark is where lightbulbs started going off in my head.  Dr. Hurt's video on here  Nicotine and your Brain is the easy lesson for beginners.  Dr.  Picciotto's video is for those Master Students here who want to really learn in greater depth why we're addicted to nicotine.  It's very heady and fascinating.

About the Author
Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again. You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE. If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
